Commando No 4272: THE SHADOW WAR

Sixteen-year-old Danny Webster hated being a miner. So, after a pit accident, he decided to do what many lads dream of doing — he joined the French Foreign Legion.

Commando No 4273: THE RAVEN AND THE RENEGADE

When Major Otto Schafer took command of a small village in Brittany, he had to show the locals that he meant business — by taking a large group of villagers hostage.

Otto was fascinated by this fantastic tale. And you will be too as you read…

The bitter fight was on once more.
